Start by choosing a project you'd like to complete. You can make a simple box or a large entertainment center.

What woods are suitable for making furniture?

How To
How to stain wooden surfaces
Staining wood is the process of applying chemicals to the wood's exterior, which alters its color. This chemical reaction causes wood to turn from whiteish to brownish. Although oak is the most popular type of wood to stain, there are many other types that can be used.
You can apply wood stains in many different ways. Mixing the stain in a solvent such as turpentine and spraying it onto the wood is one method. Another method involves applying a solution of water to the wood. You can also mix stains with varnishes or paints so that they become part the finish coating.
Preparing the surface is the most important step in staining wooden surfaces. You must clean the wood well to remove any grease or dirt that might interfere with the application of the stain. Sanding the wood removes scratches and imperfections. The next step is to choose the stain type you want. There are two types of stains that can be used: penetrating and non-penetrating. Penetrating and non-penetrating wood stains penetrate deeper than other types, making them perfect for dark colors like mahogany. The best non-penetrating colors are those that work with light colors like maple.
After deciding on the type of stain, you want to apply, prepare your tools. Paintbrushes are great for applying stain because they allow you to evenly spread the liquid across the surface. It is a good idea to have rags on hand in case you need them to clean up any stains that may remain after you have finished painting. If you plan on mixing the stain yourself make sure that you have enough containers to hold the different components.
After you have prepared your materials for staining, clean the area. Clean the area with soap and warm water to get rid of dirt and grime. Use a dampened rag and clean water to wipe the furniture. Make sure you eliminate any loose debris, especially if you plan to stain darker wood.
Next, apply the stain. Apply the stain by brushing or spraying it onto one side of the furniture. You should work slowly and carefully. Continue moving along the grain until you reach your opposite end. Keep the stain from dripping off the wood's surface. Before you proceed with the next steps, let the stain dry completely.
Clear polyurethane is used to protect the painted surfaces. Apply three coats of polyurethane sealer. Allow the third coat, which should dry overnight, to dry before sanding.
